Hoping that an obituary would mention some Ritchie relatives but nothing so far.
Now we have more information on here, it could be that a relative will pcik up on this thread at some stage.

A further couple of ancestry tree's have come to light - Kathy Downs Family Tree - Sept 2012 last signed in 11 months ago.
Edna Lawson last signed in last month - this one mentions Jessie, matthew and Margaret but the other 3 names are private.
No information on where Archibald and Margaret passed away - no sources.  :-\
